Dear all,
   Looking forward to seeing some of you later today at the first installment of our virtual SPA mini-course with the RMS with Rebecca Thompson from Thermo Fisher Scientific and Claudia Lopez from the PNCC. And looking forward now to our 2nd webinar, on data acquisition next week!

WEBINAR 2 | APRIL 21 | 6 PM BST/10 AM PACIFIC

Make every microscope hour count-optimize SPA data collection

Michael Adams (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and Yan (Amy) Liu (Stanford-SLAC CryoEM Center)

Even with a promising grid, single particle analysis (SPA) outcomes depend heavily on optimum data acquisition parameters. Register for session 2 of our three-part educational webinar series on the SPA workflow in cryo-EM to learn more about cryo-EM data collection, featuring speakers from the NIH National Centers for Cryo-EM and Thermo Fisher Scientific.

In the data collection session, you'll learn actionable, real-world guidance on collecting high-quality images at the TEM, including:

  *   What "high-quality" SPA data looks like and how to recognize it quickly
  *   Acquisition best practices that improve downstream processing success
  *   Strategies for consistency across sessions and projects
  *   Balancing throughput vs. resolution goals
  *   Avoiding common issues that reduce dataset usability

Look forward to seeing some of you there!
